Last night I went to the Coronet Theatre's A Danse Macabre Ball as the Lichtenshtein comic book Crying Girl. For those who aren't familiar, this is her: And so this is what I looked like. I know there are probably 1000 tutorials on this already but fancied doing my own as I find make up tutorials can be quite annoying for two main reasons. 1) Video bloggers love the sound of their own voice and ramble for an 18 minute clip that could easily be under 5. 2) You are expected to use a range of different sized brushes and palettes of 24 shades from Mac to achieve your look. So, start with your face. Perhaps with an apprehensive expression that shows you hope this goes smoothly. Hair first as always. I pinned back the longer bit of my hair first so it looked like I had short hair, then pinned down the front as colour spray works best on hair that is secure and already in place. (Nightmare to style hair after you have sprayed it) Then get some Snazzaro ...

Last Saturday was my boyfriend's birthday. I wanted to spice up the evening and take him somewhere he would never forget. To naughty underworld for a delicious experience. We made our way to Old Compton St in Soho, and I took him here: A man inside was wearing a tight vest and sporting a bondage mouth gag ball casually around his neck.

We were taken downstairs and squeezed passed a few sexy looking people in black, until it opened up into an underground cave filled with booze, dinner tables, and very normal looking people.

I won't do a whole review of the food as I am not a food critic, however I had Octopus and Chorizo skewers and my boyfriend...

So my favourite time of the year is quickly approaching... A week long fright-fest filled with masked balls, intricate pumpkin designs, ghost stories, fancy dress and Hocus Pocus on repeat. I would be happy if every Christmas, Easter and birthday was replaced with Halloween. I love it so much you'd think I was American, and it saddens me that many of my friends don't appreciate this holiday. I always try and out-costume myself every year. In 2011, one of my costumes was Frank the Playboy Bunny (see Donnie Darko) And one of my Halloween costumes for 2012 was a Molly Dolly Now this year has to be bigger, better. One, two costumes is not enough. I am already going to The Dance Macabre Halloween Ball at the Coronet London, but I need more! Last year I spent actual Hallow's Eve night on my own watching A Serbian Film, which I have to say was a let down in many respects. This year is all about preparation and here are my inspirations for this year.  Wis...
